If the Bluetooth window says “No Bluetooth adaptors found” then your computer can’t find a local Bluetooth radio with which to connect to other devices.

If this is the case, you will need to check that your Bluetooth device is correctly installed. If your Bluetooth adaptor is working, then you should see the statement ‘Visible as “<your device name>” and available for Bluetooth transfers’. To change your device name, click the burger menu icon in the top-right, then click in the “Name” field.

Looking at the output of lsusb you have a chicony Electronics Co Ltd Bluetooth Radio.

The drivers are on this page for your Lenovo B50-10.

If you have trouble installing that driver because it won't compile see if you can find that driver as a .deb package and install it that way.

The .deb packages are here:

This is the .deb package that you want. It's the 3rd one down from the top that says:

bluetooth_5.50-1.2~deb10u1_all.deb
